[Effect of eprosartan on psychophysiological functions of drivers with arterial hypertension].

Abstract

Antihypertensive drug eprosartan from the group of angiotensin II receptor blockers was studied from the position of its effect on professionally significant psychophysiological qualities of train drivers, which were assessed with the help of psychophysiological tests. One hundred drivers with arterial hypertension were included into the study and 2 adequate groups were distinguished: 1st which consisted of 50 persons receiving eprosartan (600 mg/day), and 2nd which comprised 50 persons receiving placebo. Results of the study have showed that eprosartan did not lower professionally significant psychophysiological qualities of drivers.
